Here comes TRon! Rush love stories, ticket chaos, and dancing to deep cuts in 11/8 at your wedding—this week, Chaz and Schatz welcome Rush Fest All-Stars Terry Hill and TRon into the Haggis Shack for a transatlantic celebration of prog fandom and community.

They break down:

🎸 Terry and Ron’s Rush origin stories—from Ontario radio waves and summer camp cassettes to buying the entire back catalog in a Cologne record shop

🥁 How Rush fandom led to a wedding on 21/12/2012, a circle of lifelong friends, and playing Massey Hall as part of the Rush Fest All-Stars

🎟️ The wild ride of scoring tickets for Rush’s new tour

🎶 Hear Schatz's “special left-handed cowbell” backing up Terry on In The Mood, live from Massey Hall in their RushFestCanada25 All Star Band Boneless Records Debut Single!!

🎶 Hear “Life’s a Rush" a TRon love song, written and perfromed by Maria Wallace (with permission you bastards at Spotify!!)

💬 Misheard lyrics, karaoke challenges, and the joy (and pain) of tribute band gigs

THIS WEEK'S SONG

And then—it’s time to spin the wheel. The mischievous wheel lands on “Beneath, Between & Behind,” launching a spirited debate on why this short, sharp classic still resonates 50 years on, and how Rush’s lyrics remain as relevant as ever.

Plug in, laugh along, and “go scratch that itch”—the Rush family is back, and the journey continues.

After two years of promises, it finally happened — the mighty Rush Archives join Chaz and Schatz in the Haggis Shack! Colorado’s premier Rush tribute trio — Steve Clark (Geddy), Ferando Escobar (Alex), and Ron Straley (Neil) — finally sit down to talk all things Rush, from 2112 to Clockwork Angels.

They break down:

🎸 The band’s gateway Rush moments — Spirit of Radio, 2112, The Camera Eye

🥁 How Steve learned bass, keys, and foot pedals in six months (because...Geddy Lee)

📸 Legendary photographer Bill O’Leary still shooting film — with the same camera he used on Rush themselves

🤘 The impact of Rush’s return with Anika Nilles behind the kit

💸 Ticket prices, tribute scene realities, and what keeps the Archives authentic

And then — it’s time to spin the wheel…the mischievous wheel gives us the lead track to the Rush 2.0 era, “Anthem.”

The guys break down why that track still hits like a musical thunderclap — from Alex’s surgical riffing to Neil’s impossible syncopation — and why it remains a rallying cry for every working man.
